NAME

       security_disable - disable the SELinux kernel code at runtime.

SYNOPSIS

       #include <selinux/selinux.h>

       int security_disable(void);

DESCRIPTION

       security_disable   disables   the   SELinux  kernel  code,  unregisters
       selinuxfs from /proc/filesystems, and then unmounts /selinux.

       This function can only be called at runtime and prior  to  the  initial
       policy  load.  After  the  initial policy load, the SELinux kernel code
       cannot be disabled, but only  placed  in  "permissive"  mode  by  using
       setenforce(1).

RETURN VALUE

       security_disable returns zero on success or -1 on error.
